Northampton Away - Match day thread

I am stood here wondering how Jevani Brown is even in the squad, terrible player who just doesn’t care.

Grant and Gordon again, I question if league standard now.

And Crama and Wilson is like watching Casualty, just waiting for the next calamity mistake.

Josh Grant would not be in team if we had no injuries. We know our problems.

Meanwhile, Time for a spirited comeback. Can we do it again ?

Wilson getting abuse and giving it back to the fans, sorry mate, you’ve had a shocker

Really?

Seen some poor rovers performances in my time but Grant’s time is surely up? Utterly abysmal footballer.

Vale doing it all in the middle, Gordon trying with little joy, see also hunt, Sincs and LT. martin anonymous.

Disappointing the (almost sold out?) away end were right on the lads backs after 1-0, MT had it right in that Tuesday post match.

Have it all to do yet again, another week and no clean sheet for Jed.

All these games now where we are seeing under performances from Grant, Brown, Wilson, Hunt, Gordon just goes to show what an over sale that Barton put on trying to convince everyone that this side is good enough to be top 6.

Grant, Brown, Wilson and Gordon would struggle in L2. They are simply below the level they have a contract for.

MT has his hands tied with this bunch and the summer can't come quick enough.

Sounds like the fans really understood Taylor’s message last week then 🤷‍♂️

They’ve already said he won’t be playing the second half

This was a really frustrating first half. Rover's passing has been poor, far too many over/under hit passes, balls out wide being hit behind the man, with our wide men having to track back to retrieve the ball. Our movement in attack by players off the ball isn’t fast enough and Northampton have been good at getting men behind the ball and closing down in numbers. With our poor passing and poor movement our attacks break down and go backwards. Northampton look comfortable.

Northampton’s passing in the final third by contrast has been accurate and quick. They’ve not had to do too much as we’ve been poor all over the pitch. Big effort needed in the second half.
